I got the chance to see this TV side by side next to a C3 OLED. Honestly the black levels were indiscernible to my eye, but the brightness on the QN90C was noticably brither. As far as color and image everything was nearly identical for a much better price the QN90C definitely for me is a much better deal
@@obafemiosineye9525 that's all they have been doing for quite some time now. Gotta take your hat off to both of them lifting those monster TVS out of the box to set them up. Kudos to Brandon and Jenn.
@@Broxty It's fixable but idk how. I only can tell you that blooming is horrible if its connected with my pc. BUT when i use the for example youtube app, all blooming is gone and the picture is perfect. I already tried alot to fix it and im not dumb with these things, but i was not able to. It cant be that you have to call an technician to fix the picture at a 1000$ TV.
@@teeaymusik9811 You aren't able to fix it on the B, the backlight just blooms everything that his bright. It's a real shame, you can watch the B and C next to each other and it's absolutely ridiculous how much better the C is with regards to blooming. Night and day.
@@highdefnews smaller stand doesn't support the TV as well, so it wobbles easily 😅 Not mention much less premium eco materials instead metal on the back of the tv 😂
@@jollama Except it's not. The launch price of the 55 inch qn90b was set to 1800. The qn95c is 27 or 2800 dollars for that. Almost a thousand dollars more. You could buy both the u8k, a qm8 and like all three game consoles for that same price. Maybe even with some to spare. The upcharge on that model almost makes sony look cheap. You are actually huffing copium if you think that TV is a replacement for the legacy of the qn90a/b.
I am not an ads fan. I think Samsung is pushing qd oled hard and qn qled is not a priority for Samsung They were qled leaders and I have q90t, and I still have oled resistance. I really am looking at qn90b but after the reported issues I am not confident. I think in the fall I will go with a qd oled, not sure which one until I see full reviews and my price cap is $2600. Over $3000 for a tv to me is ridiculous. This video answered my questions about the qn90c, and I too think it's a downgrade, but I was interested in the hdr enhancement in sdr feature, but that is not impressive so far. Great video, I enjoyed the questions featuring the wife.
They are basically making the qn95c the new qn90. The qn95c is supposed to be really good. I think they are using the local dimming from the 8k TVs in a 4K tv for the first time. The price might be a deal breaker for it though.
Well, June 19, 2023 I bought a 55in. S90c from Best Buy for $1599. It is amazing in hdr! I thought OLEDS were dim, not this one, it is bright, the picture is beautiful. Now I have 2 great tvs from Samsung. I don't see the s95c in best buy, and I am fully satisfied with the s90c ( with a Q symphony soundbar and Bluetooth headphones.)
Is blooming an issue in dark scenes when watching a movie? How's gaming? I'm thinking of getting the 75" version, I'd love to get the 85" but I don't have the space for it at the moment
I’ll take the neo qled over oled. Oled is useless in a room that has a decent bit of light coming in, and I don’t even mean a lot of light. Qled pops in a very bright room and really really good in a low light room.
don't know how it works in the US but here in France our ISP offer set top boxes to watch TV and the QN90C have all this "boxes" integrated as apps, my TV is disconnected from the cable input I don't need it no more (and an HDMI port free since I don't need the set top box either + another freed with the soundbar connected via WIFI )
Just got my q90c, and it's been less than 48 hrs in, and unfortunately, dealing with DSE.. so imma deff need best buy to handle this situation as ive lost the panel lottery. 😢
How come here in England were gunna be getting the qn95c with va panel but in America ur getting ips one. Also don’t are releasing the x95l in all sizes but america is only getting 85” version. It’s bizarre
Rtings says the native contrast is low. So i guess it's requiring more work from it's mimi-LEDs so it could have more blooming. But otherwise the PQ is much higher.
I don't understand why when it comes to lcd , panel reflection is highlited when the best tv is oled is the most reflective panel tv is considered the best tv . Reviewers shall only focus on the picture quality , that it .
Please recommend a good quality sound bar tv mount that is ideal for dolby atmos upward firing speakers. The samsung sound bar are heavy. Don’t want sagging. But I do want it to have a adjustable depth that the bottom of the TV doesn’t block the upward fire in speakers.
I don’t think so. I am getting the same. Don’t get caught up in all these reviews. When you get it and turn it on, you will be extremely happy. I know I will be. Let me know what you think after it is up and running.
Hi there, I am from Australia and I heard in your video that I can leave my questions here if I have any. I am planning to buy SonyX90L 86 inch and checking your thoughts. Any better choice compare to this model?
The QN95C had great early reviews with its AI-enhanced image processing, more dimming zones, and virtually no blooming. I'm waiting to see Brandon's review on this.
Anyone know what happen to Vizio? Haven't heard them making any new tvs or did they dissappear ? While not great tvs their P Series were cool budget tvs.
I have the qn90a 55 inch i love it but its the most expensive tv i ever bought and best buy sent me a used one "open box" even tho i payed for a brand new one. Totally ruined my experience. I had to go thru so much krap to get reimburced from best buy for them doing this to me.
I have my qn90a 85 and i want to see with this tv i beleved samsung can do more on the qn90a but i dont know what happen they can do some tweaks there on local dimming but in general the qn90a its so great tv i ise in filmaker mode all the time brightness and local dimiing on high broghtness on 15 to 17 no more and auto clarity. Very close there to oled
@@8johnwilliams88johnwilliam9 Active matrix technology has been around since the beginning of LCDs. VA and IPS were born later, first came TFT and TN. They left them out because it cost a little more, not as much as they claimed. The biggest problem that existed in those days, when the screens were generally 4:3 format, was the errors of dead pixels in the manufacture. After 2010, those errors had been overcome, but they already had technology in hand that they were selling. Companies do not necessarily go for the best, but for what sells best.
The one question I have: is the tone mapping issue on LD standard/high fixed? The colors on QN90A and QN90B are oversaturated, the whites are blown up and details are missing because of that. I hope the QN90C has these issues fixed
The controller sucks. ( We bought the 55 inch model. ) Worthless, frustrating, and cheap. Setup is an ordeal. They seem to be pushing the voice controll. I'll bet they're collecting voice-prints.
I don’t like these Samsung TVs because they are too thin and are prone to damage- why is there this drive to make them so thin as surely paying such a huge amount of money for these panels then a more sturdy build would be preferred.
Ahhh Samsung😂. Every year same story. You can’t compare same numbers model. They put the best options in only the top models, but newer top models can’t compare to last year top model. Suckssssss And ips panel 😢😢😢😮sucksss Qn90b/95b still the best models😃
No. DV would be nice but at the end the difference between hdr, hdr10+, DV are minimal as some of the improvements are done directly with the AI *and* how the movie was originally graded (if hdr10+ the DV will be worse; if DV then the hdr10+ won't be as good)
1) Samsung and other manufacturers should improve the name scheme, it's a catastrophe and very confusing to understand. 2) the solar remotes are a garbage, I have the S95B and I bought a chinese copy of the traditional one just so that I get basic functions!!! How come a new expensive remote is so useless?! No Backlight?! No input button?! No compete settings button?! No subtitle / audio channel button? ... a disaster. 3) the "new" OS is also a failure with so much marketing / publicity. Each time I get loads of screens / inputs that lead me to Rakuten TV or other sources.... hey I buy a TV to not be able to shutdown ads?! ...
Totally different = bad :)) It is soo bad: - double de price than last generation at todays prices and even pricier than some OLEDs - worse screen - worse reflections - worse tv remote - no one connect box - worse sound The only good thing is the OS is more fluid. Is this worth the price? No fucking way! Actually, i think QN85B is better than this. I think its performance and specs make this more like Q80B or Q70B. It's unbelievable the complacency at Samsung! Or maybe they think they deserve people's money. At this moment i almost think at this as a fraud or scam.
Your totally right. Samsung has done this for years, always nerfing last years TV to make their new TV look better. I call this scamming the customers,
For anyone who was interested in the 90c coming into this video but was sort of put off by his take, don't be. It's basically the same as the 90b across the board (yes, including picture quality despite the change to ADS) except it fixes the hideous rainbow effect and dirty screen effect making it an upgrade over last year. And if you're like me and were interested in this as a PC monitor because you don't want to go oled, it has an RGB subpixel layout which is much better for font rendering on windows.
@@laurencebarnes5361 Bingo. The latter 3 have around 750 I think and the 95C has 1500 or so. The quality of the local dimming and reduction of blooming is not entirely dependent on the amount of zones though. The algorithms and processing used in controlling the backlights is just as important. For example, the higher end sony miniled TVs have about half the zones of the 90b/90c, yet the dimming quality is pretty close. Some of the budget brands like hisense and TCL have TVs with thousands more than samsung and sony, yet the dimming performance is no better.
@@richmahogany1 thanks for your answers. The dimming zone count mentioned by you is for the respective 65 inch variants I assume? I recall the QN90B 50 inch having about 400-500 zones and the 55 inch version having a bit over 500 zones. Also, I guess it's safe to assume that Samsung won't do worse with more dimming zones on their QN95C, they likely have improved their algorithms. The question is whether it's worth the additional price. The QN94B is at around 1700€ for 75 inch right now.
Other than the added dimming zones how is it better? Also I hope it would be better considering it's like 50% more money. The problem is that last year they made their 95b "flagship" almost no different from the 90b, so this year they fixed that and gave you an actual reason to spend more beyond the one connect box.
Increasing the dimming zones makes quite a difference for the QN95C. It probably is worth the additional cost vs the QN90C, but given how affordable the QN90B is in all places, it is just fine to go for it.
Very strange. I got the 85” QN90C on a great deal last week. It seems to have the anti reflective look of the QN90B shown in your video. It’s a Europe model so maybe that’s why. Overal, it was the best choice for our living room because we have windows all around and our Sony A80H was terrible during the daytime. But I’m having a hard time dialing the best settings on the Samsung. It’s starting to get to the point where I am at 80-90% oled experience, but with the benefit of those higher nits. So I’m happy, but mostly also because I got the 85” at 1800€
Hey B, do you notice a difference in HDR vs HDR+? I want to buy the 85in QN85 but I realized the QN90C had "HDR+" I was wondering if it'd make a difference
Thanks very detailed review! Love this with both you and Jen…great questions! I bought the QN90A in 2021 for my daughter and we love it! Mine has a VA panel which I prefer. Bright and colorful…awesome blacks! It’s almost as good as my Sony a90j and love both for different reasons.
The Samsung qn85b 85" is $2,299 or the stepup qn90b 85" is currently $2,599! The Qn90b is brighter, has deeper blacks, better specular highlights and shadow detail and better antiglare coating!
does anyone has problems with it like me going black for a sec randomly i got it connected to pc changed a few cables now and at a begining it was pain set it on hdr from pc going black and stuck etc now it just goes black and comes back whenever i enjoy watching something
I hate to diminish the High Value information your channel provides to Video/HD TV enthusiasts.......but I must say, Jen clearly classes-up your videos whenever she's on.
Thank you Jen and B, very informative with the various Samsung products. We're looking to purchase this product and wanted look at the reviews first. Thanks again 😊
